Somin on FX’s The Americans

Professor Ilya Somincomments on the portrayal of communism in FX’s The Americans, a
television show about spies from the Soviet Union who are living in the United
States during the 1980s. Somin says, “From a political perspective as opposed
to an artistic one, I think it deserves credit for the way it portrays
Communism generally, and the KGB specifically.”
